Some months ago, I was asked to teach at Asilomar in 2012. I am thrilled to finally say the contract is signed and back in my possession. It's a go! I'm excited for at least 3 reasons...1) Heck.... It's Asilomar... How great is that?!... on the beach in Monterey, California territory. Sweet! 2) It's 5 days of dedication to Painting AND Quilting the Arts. Heaven! 3) It's 5 days of time with quilters of like interest. That's always thrilling! The date is April 3 - 8, 2012. I hope to see some of you there!!!http://www.emptyspoolsseminars.com
